been fast asleep and has been dreaming irrelevant dreams. But when you are asleep, even irrelevant dreams look relevant, inconsistent dreams look consistent, absurd dreams have a certain unity too and look meaningful. Only when you awake in the morning does the absurdity become clear.

That moment of awakening has come! You can use this moment to become more awake or you can become afraid of this and fall asleep again .nd start dreaming. And these moments are rare, very few and far between. A man may not have more than four, five moments of such a type in his whole life. So one moment missed is a great thing, because then it will take ten years, twelve, even fifteen years before the second moment comes.

So my suggestion is that you forget about your work right now, forget about what you are doing right now -- concentrate more on your being. That is the thing, the most fundamental right now.

Do a few meditations here, do a few groups here, and let the feeling for sannyas come. If it comes, allow it and help it; if it does not come there is no need to force it.

And you will become more aware. I can see the possibility very clearly -- but that possibility is just a possibility; it can be missed. I am not saying that it is inevitable, that it is going to happen. It can be missed, hence it is even more precious. It is not just going to happen on its own; you will have to cooperate with it.

Unless you allow it to happen, it will not happen. If you resist it -- it is very delicate -- it will disappear. Your sleep is like a rock and this new possibility is just like a small flower: the rock can crush it, and the rock will try to crush it.

So if you have the feeling for sannyas right now, become a sannyasin, otherwise wait and meditate and let the feeling come. What do you say?

So here, doing meditations, keep this continuously in mind,
